Hi,

Internally for testing we build our iOS ipa file and publish it on a web server to be installed using https link with plist. It is working fine on iOS 15 and earlier versions but with the latest update to iOS 16 we are unable to install an app. Even with developer mode turned on.

I know there has been security changes in iOS 16 regarding installation of the apps outside app store and was wondering if it affects this method as well.

So, is it still possible to install ipa file using http link on iOS 16? If not, what is preferred way to do that which does not include TestFlight?

Hi.

We encountered this problem too and finally got it working. The problem for us was the "bundle-identifier" value in the .plist file that was incorrect. I found the good identifier in apple developper account and put it in the .plist file. This have fixed the issue.

This thread helped us to find the issue : https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/714600

Hope this helps !
